Is The Track A Depressing Place?

There are tracks one can still go to and enjoy. I love Belmont as well as Keeneland and Saratoga.

Ever been to Les Bois?

Aqueduct Yes its real depressing...no matter where you try and hide from the multitude of pigeons and the Rastafarian's smoking you know what!


But BELMONT...


Be it in the clubhouse near the Woody Stevens trophy cases, or upstairs 3rd floor with it's spectacular views relaxing with a nice Cuban cigar or in the paddock area with a picnic table with a cooler of cold ones with friends near the Secretariat statue, there is NO other place to go and unwind from work.
Is this Heaven? No...it's Belmont!

I only make it to the actual track MAYBE 6-7 times a year....I relish every trip there.
